Most of the fried leaves to the right are on the last secondary coming off the stem. The pumpkin was really ramping it up in mid June when we were hit with some of the warmest weather we have ever seen on the upper Kenai Peninsula 80 degree days with even one 90 degree day thrown in. Leaves were under the back wash of the exhaust fan, combined with the brilliant sun, very low humidity, and no hardening off what so ever from our very cold spring the leaves took a beating, I'm just thankful the other leaves held up as well as they did.
